Premier LeaguePraised the standard of the Premier League

Reflecting on what was an exhilarating climax to the Premier League season, Pep Guardiola viewed his latest league trophy as the fiercest title he has experienced winning in all his managerial career.

"This is the level of the Premier League," the Spaniard said to Sky Sports after the game.

"To win the title we had to win 14 games in a row, so we knew for two or three months that we couldn't drop one point and we did it in all competitions until the Champions League quarter-final."

"It was the toughest league title in all my career."

Liverpool had much to do with the fact that Guardiola's men had to raise their game to an even higher level this season as they were always snapping at the Citizens' heels, something that the Manchester City boss was keen to acknowledge.

"We have to say congratulations to Liverpool as well as they helped us push and improve our standards this season," he said.
